    Fan Boundaries with Student Athletes

    When I was first married, we lived in a western suburb of Chicago named Elmhurst and many Chicago Blackhawk players lived there as well. We would often see a young Jeremy Roenick and his defenseman roommate at a Greek breakfast restaurant named the Rainbow, which did brisk business. I never...

    Big XII WBB Tournament - Who’s Attending?

    January and February were a bear this year, both weather-wise and work-related. We just finished launching a new work management system and I have time to breathe! I’m giving serious consideration to attending the WBB tournament for the first time in years. I found all session tickets for...

    NCAA WBB Tournament - Final Four Appearances Since 1995

    In the aftermath of the UCONN game, there was discussion of "blueblood" programs and how difficult it is to break into those ranks and stay there. Since 1995, CBF's first year at ISU, there have been 29 WBB Final Fours, as the tournament was cancelled in 2020. 29 Seasons x 4 Schools / Year =...

    Come On You Spurs - Tottenham 2023

    Preface: I'm nearing retirement age, never played soccer and am a relative newcomer to the EPL, having selected Spurs as "my team" in 2008. I won't pretend to know as much as others and I'm not interested in mixing it up with fans of rival clubs. These are unprecedented times for Spurs, at...

    Luton Town F.C.

    With all the attention garnered by Ryan Reynolds and Wrexham being promoted from non-League football to League Two, I wonder if anybody is paying attention to or interested in the Luton Town story. Before the formation of the present Premier League, Luton Town FC was in the English First...

    Silent Night in Algona - Movie

    I thought it was about the ISU basketball recruit, Audi Crooks! My wife dragged me to this limited release film about a WW2 German POW Camp in Algona. I went willingly because I like history and have seen several old businesses which employed German POW’s in MN and the Dakota’s, so I was...

    Creighton WBB - Compare & Discuss

    First, in a completely meaningless fact, ISU is 7-0 all-time against Creighton WBB, with the last meeting in November, 2008 (ISU 63 - Creighton 59). I wonder why we don't regularly play them, considering the proximity and relative success of both programs? ISU and Creighton WBB had five common...

    A Departure from Cyclone Nice

    I attended the Women's basketball game on Sunday, January 2, and sadly somebody appears to have absconded with my cell phone. I noticed it missing when we got back to our car. We called it multiple times and nobody answered. We re-entered Hilton and a nice usher helped us search the upper...

    ISU Basketball History - A little pre-game fun on a tense day

    I was thinking about the ISU coaches I've watched, which lead me to Wiki. Much to my delight, Wiki has a section on "versus other Iowa schools". Our most common in-state opponent is Drake, against whom ISU has compiled a 108-65 record (as of December, 2015). Our second most frequent...

    Stark Reality - ISU Sports

    Like everyone, I have been watching the realignment scenarios unfold with increasing levels of concern. We do not control our destiny, we do not have a Board of Regents that will assist us in finding safe haven (Ok. State, K-State, Texas Tech, etc.), we're not in a desirable television market...
